    I'll be visiting Portland in May and will be looking to do some IP trades for some 'Loons. Of the core Cantillon brews, which are the most sought after?

    What do you view as "core"? Are you looking for information on taste, or difficulty to obtain?

    How sought after they are in terms of trading (i've had Cantillon on many occasions). Gueuze, Kriek, RdG, Vig, Bruoscella are the readily available ones around here.

    Yeah, re-reading my initial post I wasn't very clear on that. Apologies.

    My perception is that Gueuze, Kriek, and RdG are the 3 lowest-tier (easiest to get, not necessarily lowest quality) Cantillons. Of those 3, demand is RdG>>Kriek>Gueuze. Vig is substantially more in demand than any of the others and Bruoscella is harder to characterize because it's probably a little harder to come by than the main 3, but it's also a beer that not as many people want to get.

    Short story, Vig will easily be the most in demand and RdG will likely generate a lot of interest. A large group of people will be interested in both. Bruoscella could generate interest (even strong interest), but among a much smaller group of people.
